Incidence vs. Prevalence Before discussing specific numbers and statistics, it's helpful to talk about how these numbers are reported. Theincidenceof an infection refers to how many new cases of a disease are diagnosed in a particular year. For example, the yearly incidence of hepatitis A refers...
Statistical analysis Excel 2019 was used to collect and organize the data, and SPSS Statistics 24.0 software (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA) was employed to test for normality and perform descriptive statistical analyses. Temporal trends in the national incidence of hepatitis A and the incidence by region...
